FindRepe 0.0.2 (betatesters wanted)

Finally, after few weeks of nightly efforts (since fdupes post), I'm releasing version 0.0.2 of FindRepe a duplicated file finder, multiplataform ie, for Windows, GNU/Linux, Solaris, MacOS, and for everything with java and filesystem in general.


The algorithm was developed by me about 4 or 5 years ago (when implemented in C++). It consists in grouping by size and comparing a hash of those having the same size. This implementation uses two different hashes MD5 and SHA1 just in case of collisions.


In the tests I've done it has won fdupes, 15 minutes for fdupes, and a minute and a half FindRep, but the first finally verify that the files are equal.

Yes, it's a little hard to run, but I'm working on it, patience and feedback, I need your constructive advice, what do you like, what do you dislike, what would you change, ...

Note for winusers, for the windows program pray to Saint Job. (Yes, I'm lost in traslation).

Another note for winusers, use cuotes for directories if it doesn't work, something like "c:\"
